China Three Gorges University held an activity named “Cell Phone Ninja” (手机忍者). They would like the students not to use cell phones for 21 days. It was really a challenge for most students.
The activity started on 12 April. Each student who volunteered to take part in this activity got a bracelet (手环) . If the students did not use their cell phones, there would be a photo on the screen of the bracelet to show that. If they used their cell phones, a different photo would appear on the screen of the bracelet. After the last class of each day, the students’ photos were shown on the school’s public WeChat.
About 900 students applied (申请) to take part in this test, and 400 were chosen. Seven days later, only 103 students remained. The test was set for 21 days because some scientists believe that 21 days is long enough to help form a habit.
According to the teachers in the university, the activity was not a competition. It depended on the students themselves to make the decision. To help students form better habits, the teachers hoped more activities like this one could be held.
